Comment: Has 25.5 sacks in the last three seasons, including a career-best 11.5 in 2013. Last season Vernon had 7.5 sacks and a career-best 61 tackles. His pass-rushing skills are especially valuable considering the Dolphins are unsure of DE Cam Wake (34, and coming off a torn Achilles) for the 2016 season, but his price tag, which will be set by the market, could be between $40-$50 million and that might be too costly. Outlook: 50-50 he stays

Comment: Rushed for 1,099 yards in 2014, and 872 yards in 2015. Miller, however, has averaged 4.8 yards per carry the last two seasons, including 5.1 yards per carry in 2014. The Dolphins, however, restricted Miller to 12.8 carries per game the last two years and seem to desire a more complete back. Miller’s loss would be costly because he’s reliable, but perhaps the Dolphins want a cheaper back to combine with RB Jay Ajayi, last year’s fifth-round pick. Outlook: 50-50 he stays
